Did you know that Many chinese people drink Pu-erh tea because It is effective in loosing weights?



that's why I purchased this tea and started drinking.
Although it tastes just like typical plain tea, I like the loose leaf better than any flavored pu-erh tea.

The name Pu-erh recounts to this teas place of origin – Pu-erh village, Yun Nan province of south-west China. Traditional Pu-erh teas were pressed into cakes, bricks or balls. This compression facilitates the post-fermenting process – which is as noted the distinguishing feature of this tea. Fermentation in tea production is comparable to the process that happens naturally when fruits discolor. This process is identified as enzymatic oxidation. In tea production the process is controlled via suitable application of temperature and light at the correct processing stage.

There are numerous health benefits Pu-erh can give you. According to studies,Pu'erh tea benefits include the lowering of blood lipids that assist with the prevention of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels and slimming.
